We will be attending the first session with our son. It is about a 6 hour drive from us. As a member of the parent council at the university my daughter attends, I recommend going if you can. That’s where you can learn how to find out what’s happening on campus, how registration works, dining plans, etc. Things that might interest you or even save you a few bucks. We also set up an appointment with the Assoc Dean from the school where my son was accepted to discuss how he can individualize his major to meet his interests and setting up internships for the freshman year.

As a parent, we are spending so much for our son to attend, that we want to get as much out of the expereince as we can! Plus, it is time together (even though it is enforced in a car for 6 hours) for us to chat. We may even turn it into a mini holiday since it ends on a Friday and stop and see Antitem or Gettysburg.
